It’s probably a really good thing that my somnambulism stopped when I was 10.

My waking mind is a pacifist, an optimist, a “we will get through this because we are strong and we must” better angel.

My subconscious mind cries out for vengeance!

All this to say, I have had some wild ducking dreams (nightmares?) since the election was called.

Kiddo’s wishlist for Santa:
-Descendants doll
-a sticky cat (I think like a sticky hand but cat shaped???)
-a special pen
-Christmas tree brownies and candy canes in her stocking
-and for Santa to have a great year.

Simple and super sweet.

I spent the evening admiring the Christmas tree, coloring with my 7yo daughter, helping her with her Santa correspondence and cleaning the budgie mansion. Even after kiddo went to bed, I dutifully printed lunch notes and watched the food network. Blocking out the noise and the negativity and doom.

Some might call it #ostrichmode. But I call it ever so carefully bubble-wrapping what is left of my hope and optimism for its imminent and inevitable defenestration.

Me to physical therapist 10 minutes into PT: “Physical therapy is bullshit and you are a monster!”
Me to physical therapist 30 minutes into PT: “Kill me. Kill me now.”
At the conclusion: See you next week. (Creepy whisper) I think I love you.

Descaling the coffee pot with vinegar and water while simultaneously clearing and deodorizing bathroom sink drain. Put a 1:1 mix of baking soda and vinegar in the drain. Run vinegar and water through coffee maker. When the vinegar water runs through, take the hot vinegar water brew to the sink where you poured the vinegar and baking soda and pour it down the drain. Run water through coffee maker and flush the drain once more with that hot water. 💦 💪 🧼

10 hours until 🍐 fruit leather is done. 10 hrs to make, 10 minutes for Hubs and kiddo to gobble up.

Check your carrots. Better yet, plant some in your backyard or some containers.

#MorningMood.

You know, the little girl from Signs who left glasses of water everywhere claiming, “It’s contaminated.” ?

I feel like I’m her but grown up. My own sister told me that the amount and variety of water filters I employ in my home is not a normal amount. 🤪

Getting ready to settle down with my #Kindle paperwhite and read when I noticed something weird. The book I downloaded at work was missing. So I went to my library and it showed about 45 books. Then 32. Then 14. What the fuck—my books were vanishing from my kindle while I watched. I checked that all the books are still in my account so I’m currently doing a factory reset. But 🤬?! Anyone ever experience anything like this?

Husband and kiddo are asleep. (The former on the couch. The latter in her bedroom.)

I’m going to stressfully smash a massive bowl of chocolate Chex and almond milk into my face.
